Furious Love Island fans all have the same complaint as Harrison and Lauren reunite on Aftersun after explosive double exit
Friday's instalment of the ITV2 show saw Harrison, 22, leave the villa after Lauren Wood, 26, got booted out after bombshell Angel Swift, 26, decided to couple up with her man Ty Isherwood, 23.
Harrison's stint in the villa has seen him crack on with a number of the girls.
He originally coupled up with Toni Laites, 25, but wanted to also get to know Helena Ford, 29, and after deciding to give it a go with Toni, he brought Lauren back to the main villa from Casa Amor.
The footballer then got into a very confusing and complicated love triangle with Toni and Lauren - and this angered fans, with Women's Aid even releasing a statement about his behaviour.
Harrison decided to leave the villa a day after Lauren and they reunited on screen during the latest episode of Aftersun.
Speaking about his decisions in the villa, Harrison told presenter Maya Jama: 'I think maybe when we did bits... Probably took it a little bit too far talking to Toni after that.
'I obviously regret that massively and I apologise to both the girls but, yeah, it wasn't good for me.'
Those watching at home were not impressed with his apology.
One wrote on X: 'Lol im glad no one clapped at Harrison's poor excuse of an apology #LoveIsland.'
'The silence in the studio while Harrison is talking is awkward #loveisland.'
'Oh Indiyah does not believe a word Harrison says.'
'Harrison was left off far too lightly there kmt poor interview, and his face at the end said it all.. he wants Toni back now �� #LoveIsland.'
Many rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share how unimpressed they were with Harrison's apology
'Maya didn't grill Harrison enough for me kmt #loveisland.'
It comes after Harrison broke his silence on his love triangle with Lauren Wood and Toni Laites after abruptly quitting the villa.
Speaking for the first time after his exit, Harrison reflected on the love triangle drama, which saw Toni left devastated after she learned he had slept with Lauren twice.
'I was relatively new to the Villa so I wanted to explore connections and I came to the conclusion that Toni was the better suit for me.
'Then when I went to Casa there was an instant spark and connection with Lauren, I knew from day one there was something special there.
'When I came back from Casa something in the back of my mind was still thinking about Toni.
'If I had left with Lauren when Shakira had the choice to send me home, I think I would've always regretted not giving me and Toni one final go as we left on good terms before Casa.
'That's the reason I gave a little speech before the recoupling on the Terrace. As soon as I did that, I felt terrible towards Lauren.
'For two days, I tried to go tunnel vision with Toni but there was something holding me back.'
Harrison took to Instagram on Sunday to share a message with fans.
He said: 'Back on home turf and carrying every lesson with me. What a whirlwind, confusing, raw, beautiful in parts, and deeply humbling.
'I entered with the intention not to hurt anyone.
'Truthfully, although I didn't manage that, I leave with a heart more open, and a soul willing to learn.
'Life isn't always easy, it's felt, it's flawed, it's full of growth.
'Thank you to those who saw the good in me even when I struggled to see it myself. This is just the beginning.'

Strictly Come Dancing favourite will NOT have a celebrity partner this year as they are tempted away by new gig
Gorka Marquez has pulled out of being partnered with a celebrity on the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing. The professional dancer, 34, will be missing from the BBC show for three weeks this year to work as a judge on the Spanish version Bailando Con Las Estrellas. His judging commitments means he can't have a professional partner on the new series and will be instead part of the ensemble dancers. According to The Sun, Gorka will appear as part of the ensemble for the first seven weeks and then will be gone for a month before returning in week 11. A source said: 'Strictly bosses were desperate to keep Gorka so have made it work around his schedule to make sure he's as involved as possible because he's such a fan favourite.' Gorka took to Instagram to confirm he would be a judge on the Spanish version of Strictly. He wrote: 'I am happy to announce that I will be back for season two of BAILANDO CON LAS ESTRELLAS as a judge from September. 'Due to the filming dates this means that I won't be competing with a partner this year in Strictly but I will be a part of lots of the group numbers and will be back for final weeks of the Show to support the rest of my fellow pros and their celebrities in what is going to be an AMAZING SERIES. 'As always thank you for all The love and supportand remember!' It comes after Strictly unveiled two new pros who are joining the lineup ahead of the much-anticipated new series this autumn. Alexis Warr and Julian Caillon will shimmy onto screens alongside a slew of much-loved pros later this year, with both already familiar to the show, having performed on the show's international versions, Dancing With The Stars. American-born Alexis Warr, 25, is best known for winning US dance series So You Think You Can Dance in 2022 and was crowned as 'America's Favourite Dancer', becoming the first female Ballroom and Latin dancer to claim the title. She has performed as a guest Professional Dancer and in the dance troupe on the US version of Strictly, Dancing With The Stars, and has been part of the series' accompanying US tour for the past three years. As well as appearing on America's Got Talent, World of Dance, and on national tours across the States, Alexis has also joined Dancing With The Stars judge Derek Hough for three tours, in addition to his Las Vegas residency. Prior to the announcement, Alexis hinted that she could be joining the Strictly pros in the new lineup, as she shared a video ahead of her flight to the UK over the weekend. The fiery redhead has been married to dentist Jake Burton for six years, and regularly shares sweet snaps with her spouse on Instagram. Speaking about joining the show, Alexis said: 'I've admired Strictly for years, so joining this incredible family is such an honour. 'I can't wait to step into the ballroom, pour my heart into every moment, and share my love of dance with the UK.' Australian-born Julian has been dancing since the age of 10, specialising in Ballroom and Latin American, and going onto represent Australia on the international stage. He appeared as a Professional Dancer on three seasons of Australia's Dancing With The Stars, has toured the globe with hit dance show Burn The Floor, and also competed on So You Think You Can Dance in Australia. Julian has a degree in Exercise Physiology from UNSW Sydney and, alongside his dance career, has worked as a Personal Trainer and Exercise Physiologist. Back in December, Julian announced his engagement to his girlfriend Sofia, posting a sweet video of their beachside proposal on Instagram. He said: 'Joining the cast of Strictly really is a dream come true. I've watched it for years, especially cheering on all the amazing dancers I know and work with who've been part of it. I can't wait to get stuck in, have some fun, and be part of something special! '

Gregg Wallace accusers slam BBC for ‘disregarding victims' after Masterchef airs with sacked hosts despite botched edit
BBC bosses were last night feeling the heat over a string of scandals. The Corporation took a battering for airing a new series of MasterChef featuring sacked stars John Torode and Gregg Wallace. 13 13 Bosses struggled to cut down the shamed pair's screen time in the series opener though they did succeed in stripping the popular cookery contest of its usual jokes. It came as the corporation faced renewed demands to shelve the series after a misconduct probe led to the departures of its long-running hosts last month. Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy revealed yesterday she would not be watching. During the 58-minute opener which aired last night on BBC One, Wallace and Torode were featured more than 100 times. The presenters, both 60, were seen on seven occasions during the first minute alone. The nature of the show meant they then kept popping up repeatedly throughout — although there was a noticeable lack of banter between them and the contestants. A TV insider said: 'This was incredibly embarrassing for the Beeb who were probably hoping that there was something which could be done in the edit to drastically minimise how much they seemed to be on camera. MasterChef returns with Gregg Wallace and John Torode - but fans spot HUGE changes to show 'But the format of the show pivots so much around the presenters, who have to judge the meals, interview the guests and outline their suggested dishes and ingredients. 'There was simply no other way they could have made the show function without them being seen so much. 'But viewers did notice that there was far less joking around between Gregg and John and the contestants, as fans of the show have seen in the past.' The BBC's own website reported: 'MasterChef returns with sacked hosts but without their jokes.' On July 10, Wallace was sacked by the BBC and the show's production company Banijay after an investigation upheld 45 of 83 complaints against him. 13 13 13 13 Most of them, covering a 19-year period, centred around inappropriate sexual language and one of unwanted touching. Shortly afterwards, his Australian co-host Torode was also sacked after it emerged an allegation he used 'an extremely offensive racist term ' in the workplace was upheld. The BBC was then urged not to broadcast the new series, which had already been recorded, given that both men featured so heavily. 'Bigger than individuals' At one point it was suggested it might just be put on iPlayer, and not go out on BBC One. However BBC Director-General Tim Davie insisted MasterChef was 'bigger than individuals' before it was confirmed it would go ahead as planned. Mr Davie said his 'overwhelming concern' was for the amateur chefs who 'gave their heart and soul to this programme'. Yesterday morning the first three episodes, featuring a first batch of six amateur chefs, were available on the iPlayer. 13 13 13 Notably, the accompanying images were all of food and the MasterChef logo, in stark contrast to previous series which featured multiple shots of Torode and Wallace goofing around in the kitchen. The first episode then aired at 8pm on BBC One. It remained to be seen if viewing figures are drastically different to last year's series opener which pulled in 3.2million. Ms Nandy would not be among them. The minister said: 'It's absolutely not for me, as the Culture Secretary and a member of the government, to tell broadcasters what they can and can't broadcast.' I've watched MasterChef on and off over the years, but I certainly won't be watching this series Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy But, asked what she thought as a viewer, she said: 'I won't be watching it.' She added: 'I've watched MasterChef on and off over the years, but I certainly won't be watching this series.' Some of the women who made allegations against Wallace told BBC News they did not think it should be aired. One said it showed 'a blatant disregard for the people who have come forward'. Former Newsnight presenter Kirsty Wark, who alleged Wallace told 'sexualised' jokes while filming Celebrity MasterChef in 2011, said she knew many women had asked the BBC not to broadcast the new series. She told the BBC's Scotcast podcast that she 'probably won't be watching'. 'Enabling environment' Broadcast union Bectu said bad behaviour 'should not be rewarded with prime-time coverage'. Last week, Sarah Shafi, one of the contestants on the new series, said she was edited out after asking for it not to be aired. Ms Shafi said it should have been axed out of respect to those whose complaints were upheld. That would have sent 'a strong message the BBC are not supporting people in those prominent positions or facilitating some sort of enabling environment', she added. Replacements for Wallace and Torode have yet to be confirmed by the BBC. 13 13
